FileMenu Tools is an application which lets you customize the context menu of Windows Explorer.
The application adds built-in utilities to perform operations on files and folders and adds custom commands which let you run external applications, copy/move to a specific folder or delete specific file types.
With FileMenu Tools, you also can customize the "Send to..." submenu, and either enable or disable context-menu commands added by other applications.
Built-in Utilities
